I’ve wanted to do this series for a while where I write letters to certain people in my life and my friends have been a huge support for me recently so I guess that this is a good place to start..

Hi friends,

I want to thank you all. I want to thank you for helping me through the last year because it really hasn’t been easy and I know I have used a lot of you as a punching bag (metaphorically speaking, unless I have actually punched you in which case I am probably only doing it in a loving way)

First off, my best friends.

You guys, I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am for you. For the paragraphs when I am at my lowest. For the phone-calls at 2am. For the general check up text messages to see if I am doing okay. It really does mean a lot to me. YOU all mean a lot to me. You are some of the strongest and most amazing people I have ever met and I am so lucky you are in my life.

To my work friends,

Well guys, its been a fun few years but I love all of you awesome nerds so much. I know a lot of you have your own sh*t going on right now, but I am so proud of you all for powering through and still being the best you can be. You are some of the smartest and best people I know and I’m glad I can go into work knowing that I really do have certain people who will genuinely care about whether you are doing okay or not. I love you all.

There are plenty of other people who I could have put onto this page, but just know that I love you all and I am grateful for your existence. Stay strong, lads.
